Crystal River Cruises popular President’s Cruise is set for a Thanksgiving sail, as CEO and president Edie Rodriguez, along with her husband Tom, join guests aboard the Crystal Mozart on the Danube for a special November voyage.
The journey marks the first time the President’s Cruise will be held on any vessel other than one of Crystal’s award-winning ocean ships Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity. The 10-day sailing will depart Vienna Nov. 22, and will include all-inclusive Crystal Adventures to highlight Germany’s and Austria’s holiday traditions and festivities.
“I am thrilled to be spending the Thanksgiving holiday with the guests aboard Crystal Mozart and exploring this beautiful region along the Danube at one of the most magical times of the year,” says Rodriguez.
Travelers will enjoy lavish feasts, cocktail receptions and unique excursions to charming European gems with lights, traditional music and all things festive around Austria’s Wachau Valley.
The cruise will include an overnight stay in Linz, Austria, and a two-night stay in Vienna, to conclude the journey and ensure ample time for exploring the region. Other destinations include Melk, Austria; Passau and Vilshofen an der Donau, Germany; and Bratislava, Slovakia. The Crystal Mozart all-inclusive cruise starts at $3,180 per person.

Airliners were required to bank sharply at the last moment, dodging hills and apartment blocks to line up with a runway jutting out into Kowloon Bay. The airport is long gone, but international visitors are arriving at Kai Tak again, albeit more sedately. Their cruise ships dock smoothly at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, a modern gateway designed by Sir Norman Foster.
